Uses For World Image Tracker |
|
The World Image
Tracker has a variety of uses
ranging from entertainment to
security. Because it can load, track
and save any image from the
internet, it can be used to monitor
any remote web cam, satellite image,
scientific instrument or even
graphs, plots and charts. The
ability to animate the images,
allows you to see things that static
images don't. Wit also gives you the
options of creating a permanent
records of everything that it
captures. |

1. Web
Cams |
|
Since Web Cams are
cheap and can be placed almost
anywhere, they monitor virtually any
object in the world ranging from out
door scenes, mountains, equipment,
etc. Since WIT can track these
images for hours, day and weeks on
end, you can maintain a permanent
visual record of every event that
occurred within the range of your
camera. |

Science |
|
The web is also full
of scientific images. For example,
the image to the right shows an
animation made from a series of
satellite images that show the solar
corona. Even though the images are
static on the web site, WIT is able
to collect them over long periods of
time and save them as animations of
various types. This includes movie
files and animated gifs. |

WIT and a web cam
makes it is easy to monitor
equipment in remote, inaccessible
and or hostile environments. Web cam
go places people are reluctant to go
and stay when the weather would
drive people indoors. Since WIT can
monitor equipment 24 hours a day you
can have a record of events that
happened when nobody was around.

5.
Security |
|
WIT allows you to use
inexpensive web cams as security
cameras. WIT can download new images
at regular intervals. It can also
monitor the images for movement or
motion and only load those images
that show a change. Finally, it can
isolate the motion between frames
showing only the parts that change.
This allows you to focus on very
small changes in the images that may
indicate security problems or
illicit activities. |
